Yes. most likely.. Again.. the "project" file for eclipse is really  
going to be pretty simple. It is unlike other project files where you  
have to define everything. Eclipse is just slaving to make to  
actually build your project. Eclipse projects are way to limited to  
do this any other way. I am not trying to be difficult just passing  
on hard learned knowledge from earlier..
